Cinnamon Maple Coffee Cake

Hello! Welcome to my blog! My name is Dayna and I love all things sweet. I have a wonderful new husband (the piggy in the relationship), and three beautiful cats. I am a recent college grad attempting to go to graduate school, but most importantly I am a hobby baker. I hope you decide to follow me as I begin this exciting new food journey and blog! Bon appetit!

Cream the butter and sugar in
the bowl of an electric mixer for 4 to 5 minutes, until light. Add
the eggs, then add the vanilla and yogurt. In a separate bowl, sift
together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. With the
mixer on low, add the flour mixture to the batter until just
combined. Finish stirring with a spatula to be sure the batter is
completely mixed.

For the streusel, place the brown sugar,
flour, cinnamon, salt, maple and 3 tbsp of butter in a bowl and pinch
together with your fingers until it forms a crumble. Mix in the
pecans. Reserve the 2 extra tbsp of butter for later.

Spoon
half the batter into the pan and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle with
about 2/3 of the streusel. Place pats of the remaining butter over the middle strreusel. Spoon the rest of the batter in the pan,
spread it out, and scatter the remaining streusel on top.

Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until a
toothpick comes out clean. Let cool on a wire rack for at least 30
minutes. Carefully transfer the cake, streusel side up, onto a
serving plate.

Mix the powdered sugar and maple syrup
together, adding a few drops of milk if necessary, to make the glaze
runny. Drizzle as much as you like over the cake with a knife.

Severed best warm with a cafe a lait!
